For Dummies is a project of at least 2 modules :
- "Builder" which helps you save and activate unlimited amount of action set builds
- "Rotation" to generate a priority based ability cycle.
General features:
- Use /fd or /fordummies command to open the option window
- Activate/deactivate Modules (I used GeminiAddon to create addon-like modules)
Builder features are:
- Use /fdbuild <strBuildId> or /fordummiesbuild <strBuildId> to activate a build
- Save the currently used action set build (only the 8 abilities from the LAS are saved, I didn't want to save the gadget, path ability nor potion) in association with the action-set
- Rename the build
- Select one of the 8 ability icons directly from the build as representative icon for this one
- Activate the saved build
- Create a macro that will activate the saved build (do not edit the macro in any way if you want it to stay linked to the build)
- Renaming or changing the icon of your build will update the related macro information instantly
- Delete the saved build
- Before activation, the addon switch to the correct action-set if needed
- Before activation, the addon check if all the abilities are usable (in case you changed your amps and had an amp ability when the build was saved)
- Before activation, the addon check if you are in combat or dead
- If the build activation failed, the addon will reverse to your previous action-set if switch was made earlier
- The addon prevent any kind of double click/activation
Builder planned features:
Add Tier number over the abilities icons- Add of an UI build swapper somewhere
I have not yet started to work on the "Rotation" module, I don't know what will be required and if it is even possible, so it might take a while
Personal note: This is the first time i make an addon and also the first time i work with lua language, so the work itself will probably not be perfect..
